Twp vital sections to the Act were added: the first made it treason to criticise the Boleyn/Henry marriage in any way; the second required all to taken an oath swearing to uphold the Act. The latter was to prove a useful weapon against opponents of the marriage, which is probably why Cromwell had it inserted. |
